Additional information

Chromium trichloride in its hexahydrate form is very soluble in water (585 g/L at 25 °C) as reported within the CRC Handbook. It is typically marketed within Europe as a 50% aqueous solution in line with this information. The anhydrous form of chromium trichloride is reported being insoluble in cold water and slightly soluble in hot water. However, once in solution and converted to its hexahydrate form, solutions are stable.
